#18 Near Volcano Park & Punalu`u Black Sand Beach- Na`alehu, HI

Aloha! Kick your shoes off, take a deep breath of fresh ocean air, close your eyes and listen to the birds singing!

You have arrived in Old Hawaii, so relax and enjoy (Ku'u aku & Luana, walea). Sea Mountain is off the beaten track for those who appreciate leisure. You are truly away from the hustle and bustle of life’s daily pressures and demands. You are now amidst the beauty of the flora and fauna this area provides... and here, your time is your own.

You get a little local flavor, less resort-like feel, with beautiful ocean views and pool. Star gaze at night while soaking in the hot tub. Take an easy stroll to see the turtles at the black sand beach.
The breathtaking, panoramic view assails the senses as the weary body and soul take in wispy breezes, rhythmic ocean sounds, scent of tropical blooms, and soft birdsong and warmth of real sunshine.
This is a private Studio unit/bedroom alcove in a secluded resort in the rural district of Kau. It's a hidden gem!

ACTIVITIES:  Travel guides provide a myriad of activities the Big Island has to offer and that is why so many visitors do return. There is always something for everyone, whether young or younger at heart. The range of activities crosses the spectrum from lying by the pool reading your favorite author to swimming with manta rays in Kona, to a midnight visit atop Mauna Kea summit to peer at the vast universe from the astronomical observatory. Between these extreme leisures is golf, hiking ancient trails, ZIP Lines, exploring Volcano National Park, observing lava spewing forth (if Madam Pele cooperates), shopping in Kailua Kona, deep sea fishing, snorkeling pristine coral reefs...the list of activities is limited only by your energy.  Don’t forget to take advantage of sunrise at Punalu’u Black Sand Beach which is a short walk from the condo. Sunrise and basking Green Sea Turtles is a must. Take some time to meander local farmers markets on Wednesdays and Fridays in Na’alehu (a 10 minute drive), Sunday in Volcano (25 minute drive), Pahoa (45 minute drive) and in historic Hilo (1 hour drive). These markets feature mouthwatering baked goods, flavorful locally roasted coffee, artisan crafts and abundant fresh fish, fruit and vegetables.

Volcano has Kilauea Lodge, with excellent food, as well as several other good restaurants. More dining choices are available in Kailua Kona and Hilo. However, you may also prepare local cuisine yourself by gathering the freshest ingredients from aforementioned Farmers' Markets, small grocery stores in either Pahala or Na'alehu, or larger grocery stores in Hilo, Kailua Kona and neighboring town Ocean View. Fabulous meals can be prepared in the condo’s fully stocked kitchen and BBQs are provided at the pool area.
